A shIpmaster.s Complaint.

The Baltimore Sun of the 21st says
Capt. e. III. Warwick, of the American bark
Rose Innes, of Portland, which arrived yes
terday from Caleta Buena, Peru, says he was
placed under great inconvenience at Hamp-
ton Roads, where he had gone for orders.
He states his case as follows: 81 arrived
champion Roads the 14th instant, at p.
m. As soon as the anchor was down went
ashore to telegraph to w. r. Grace, New
York, and request my orders 1t was too
late, and | had to return the following day.
A customs officer came the following day,
looked at the crew and told me that after "a
hours must go to Norfolk and report my
self, and enter and clear if | remained long
er than As hours. My orders came to pro-
ceed to Baltimore but having head wind /
was obliged to remain in the Roads. Now
comes the hardest. The next day was Sum
day, and my time for entering and clearing
was up at p. III. that day. had to remain
at Hampton Roads all day Sunday and Mon
day at an expense of $45 per day to the vessel.
On Monday / lost a fair wind by going to
Norfolk to enter and clear, which took all
the day. 1t seems to me that If this arbitra-
ry law is to prevail, there should be business
foresight enough to keep customs officer at
Hampton Roads with authority to enter and
clear vessels, without subjecting the ship
and master to the inconvenience and expense
of going to Norfolk to do so. An officer is
kept there to carry out the law. Why not
empower him to fill the most important
part?"

rlll, Bradley and McAlpine. In the absence
OF the Mayor Col Merrill was elected chair
man pro tenn.
The records Of the last. month were read
and approved.
The Superintendent of Schools and the
Supervisors report on the various schools as
generally in good condition. The matter
OF the imperfect heating and ventilation of
the High school building was discussed, and
remedies suggested. Col. Merrill stated that
the committeeson the High school had, two
years since, procured plans and specifications
from an expert pointing out the manner in
which the defects of the High school in re-
gard to heating and ventilation can be rem
idied at an expense of not over $4,000. and
that the same had been presented to the city
government since, but no attention had been
given to it. Itwas suggested that in making
up the next years estimates this matter
should again be pressed more than ever be-
fore, for an adequate appropriation for rem
edying the above mentioned defects.
